Testimonials

My daughter started dancing with Caroline at the age of 5 unsure of herself and her capabilities. She just loved to move. Under Caroline’s direction and care Emma blossomed.

Jennifer MaQuarrie - Parent

I had the pleasure of training with Miss. Caroline, not only did she instill a love of dance in me, but a love for the foundation and basics of ballet which were the backbone to my technique.

Nathalie Heath- Alumni Student

Anyone who is taught by Caroline is lucky to be under her instruction. She creates a special bond with her dancers and instills a love of dance especially ballet. I have many memories of watching her beautiful dancers. She is an exceptional dance teacher.
